Re: mnml --- tech

Well, we saw RRose this summer, but I'd like to see him again. I just have reservations regarding the venue, and kind of need to not go out all weekend as all I've done for the last month is party :P

I'll be at the Thursday Move D show though. (Wasn't sure if you were looking at Thursday's or Friday's).

Haha nice.. I'm looking at both the Thursday and Friday shows as well as Rrose if I can make it down. Ride shares aren't looking too promising though.. I have class on thursday during the day which is another part of the problem.

I dont know if it would be mnml but the song jiao on the daphni album is my new jam.

"How long will this last, this delicious feeling of being alive, of having penetrated the veil which hides beauty and the wonders of celestial vistas? It doesn't matter, as there can be nothing but gratitude for even a glimpse of what exists for those who can become open to it."

Throwing a legal show often means only having 9pm - 2/3/4am to work with, and of course nobody goes out until 10pm at the earliest. That and this country only gets 90-60 minute sets from most acts. Fact is not many people are used to dancing to the same dj for 4-6 hours; it has nothing to do with promoters. But I would like it if a promoter hires someone like Robag or Dixon and only gives them 75 minutes to play to call it an "Extremely Limited, Shortsighted, We're fucking retarded promoters, set".

I dont think there's been any straight mnml posted in here for awhile. mostly obscure, atmospheric minimal shit, techno, house and ether music.

Thankfully we've been getting more and more sets that are at least a couple of hours long, but still... no marathons.
I'm starting to get a little irritated with shows that advertise as "till late" when they only plan on going until 3 or so.

Re: mnml --- tech

In general the parties here in the states are on the short side compared to a lot of other places so of course there are going to be shorter sets with less overall running time for an event, but I still find it obnoxious when promoters have the gall to advertise a 3 hour set as some sort of special and rare event when these artists regularly play slots of 3-4 hours at least.

Also, early-bird tickets for CTM in Berlin have been extended till Oct. 22, can't wait to see what names get announced with the first part of line-up release http://de.amiando.com/blind_bird.html

I understand but when Americans are only used to seeing certain "big" artists play festival sets (because promoters cannot afford proper sets) its not like some big crime to market a 3-4 hour set as an extended set. Douchebags like me and you might take exception, but we're in the minority.

Re: mnml --- tech

excited! this mix is not as good as some of the others i've heard, however. I think the quality is iffy but the actual performance is not as sharp as I've heard in the past. oh well, im sure he'll step up
